Page weight controls the position of a page within a collection that is sorted by weight. Assign weights using non-zero integers. Lighter items float to the top, while heavier items sink to the bottom. Unweighted or zero-weighted elements are placed at the end of the collection.

Although rarely used within a template, you can access the value with:

{{ .Weight }} → 42
